How to Convert Centimeters to Kilometers
Example: How many kilometers are equivalent to 94.63 centimeters?
As;
1 centimeters = 1.0E-5 kilometers
94.63 centimeters = Y kilometers
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 94.63 times 1.0E-5 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 94.63 * 1.0E-5 / 1 = 0.0009463 kilometers
Answer is: 0.0009463 kilometers are equivalent to 94.63 centimeters.
